How much?

"You have a nice dog there!"
"Oh thank you, his name is Coco."
"It's Hush Puppies right? How much?"
"It's from my friend...Coco let's go..."

Sounds like a normal conversation between either me or Fei with any other strangers who finds our Coco is adoreable (who doesn't?). The problem is, we are getting annoyed by "how much?", "where you buy it?", "Must be very expensive, right?"
Of course there is nothing wrong with those questions, but it's about when those questions were asked, and from whom. Let me put up an example:

"Hey you baby boy very cute lor!"
"Oh thank you, his name is Alex."
"How much you paid to get him?"
"Huh? Go away you freak! My baby is not for sale!"

I know the example above is kinda over, but it's close to how we felt. Initially I thought it's just me, but after talking with Fei, we just can't get used to that kinda questions from random strangers. We treat Coco as one of us, so I guess it's normal that we don't put a price tag on him, right?

I never asked the "How much?" question to random dog owners before we met Coco, but I think I would too if I get the chance. So I know it's totally normal to have the said conversation as many of us especially dog lovers are really interested to know the price or the place where the puppies were on sale.

The best place to get your questions answered could be the pet shops, or the dog breeders themselves. Or, if you knew us personally, we are glad to tell you the details too! Frankly, if you are a total stranger to us, my Coco will have the risk of being kidnapped after you find out it cost RM(insert random integer). Make sense right?

p/s: Yes, we bought Coco from a pet shop, and it's not as expensive as you think.

Photos and newspaper cutting

Nothing much actually, Coco, Lucas and myself did not look at the camera anyway.

Fei's left hand is visible at the side. Hahaha~

Our own KekHwa at our porch.

Different type of KekHwa

Intimate moment for Elmo and Lucas

The guys were hanging around

Fei got a new helmet~

Apart from the post about Coco, this is some misc stuff that happen to us recently.


Since Coco "destroyed" Fei's helmet, I was thinking to buy her a new helmet. Now she has it, a custom made SGV Cruiser. Fei prefered "half cap" helmet, so there wasn't much choices left. Let's the photos do the talking.


Helmet = RM60
Paint = RM7
Total cost: RM 67

Satisfaction I got: Priceless...You can't find the same helmet else where~






In case you are asking what's the black spots are all about...they are puppy's paw prints and Coco's silhouette image when he's sitting, posting for the camera.
